Aqueous self-crosslinking copolymer dispersions, a
process for preparing them and their use in binders for
coating materials
The invention relates to aqueous self-crosslinking
copolymer dispersions having a core-shell structure, at
least some of the monomers forming the copolymer in the
core having carbonyl groups and carboxyl groups as well
as free-radically polymerizable olefinically unsaturated
groups, and comprising dicarboxylic dihydrazides or
bishydrazine compounds. The invention additionally
relates to a two-stage process for preparing these
aqueous self-crosslinking copolymer dispersions and to
their use as binders for storage-stable one-component
coating materials which crosslink at room temperature or
at elevated temperature.
EP-A 0 649 865 discloses self-crosslinking carbonyl-
containing polyurethane-vinyl hybrid dispersions which
crosslink by way of hydrazine compounds but do not have
a core-shell structure.
EP-A 0 555 774 discloses copolymer dispersions formed by
copolymerizing monomers having carbonyl groups and
carboxyl groups. These dispersions also have no core-
shell structure, being prepared in a single-stage
polymerization with no change in the composition of the
monomer mixture. The binders prepared with these
dispersions are crosslinked by reaction with the
polyamines employed as neutralizing agents. With these
products, first a high proportion of carbonyl groups is
required to achieve sufficient crosslinking density of
the coating films and second this high proportion of
corresponding monomers results, during the
copolymerization, in the formation of gel specks and
coagulum whose removal can only be accomplished at great
expense in terms of time and apparatus. In addition, the
CA 02286855 1999-10-18
- 2 -
polyamine employed as crosslinking component leads to
severe yellowing of the coating film and so to problems
in numerous applications.
AT-B 402 504ndescribes self-crosslinking aqueous polymer
dispersions which are prepared in a two-stage process. In
this process, the composition of the monomer mixture for
the second stage of the polymerization differs from that
of the first stage. These copolymer dispersions have
small fractions of carbonyl groups and permit high
crosslinking densities without forming the coagulum or
gel specks that are difficult to remove. However, the
polyamines employed as crosslinking component likewise
occasion severe yellowing of the resulting coating films.
European Patent Application EP-A 0 795 568 describes
aqueous polymer dispersions having a core-shell structure
in the core of which at least 50% of the monomers which
are employed are those whose homopolymers have a glass
temperature of below 0 C while the proportion of such
monomers employed in the shell is less than 45%.
Difunctional acid hydrazides can also be added to the
dispersion. Where such hydrazides are added in the
examples, the monomer mixture for the shell of the
polymer particles also includes a monomer that contains
ketone groups. In this case, the monomer composition is
selected in accordance with the desired minimum film-
forming temperatures.
In AT-B 403 478, the dispersions known from AT-B 402 504
are combined with polyfunctional isocyanates of low molar
mass to form two-component binders. Although it is
possible in this way to provide coating materials having
reduced tendency to yellow and improved resistance to
water, chemicals and light exposure, disadvantages
include the complex preparation of the coating material,
CA 02286855 1999-10-18
- 3 -
the limited pot life, prolonged drying time, and
relatively low film hardness.
It has surprisingly now been found that aqueous copolymer
dispersions prepared in accordance with AT-B 402 504 by
a two-stage process in which monomers having in each case
carbonyl and carboxyl groups are employed only in the
first stage (which leads to the core of the particles)
can be crosslinked, following neutralization of the
carboxyl groups by adding small amounts of ammonia,
amines or aqueous alkalis, with polyfunctional hydrazides
and lead simply to binders having a sufficient pot life
which can be processed to give coating materials having
high film hardness, good resistance to mechanical and
chemical exposure, rapid drying, and little or no
tendency to yellow.
The invention accordingly provides aqueous self-
crosslinking copolymer dispersions ABC obtainable by
free-radically initiated copolymerization in the first
stage of a monomer mixture A comprising mass fractions in
the mixture of
Al from 2 to 55%, preferably from 4 to 45% and, with

acids,

alkyl groups having up to 3 carbon atoms in the
alkyl radical and cyclic and polycyclic alkyl groups
having 5 to 15 carbon atoms in the alkyl group,

unsaturated carboxylic acids or dialkyl esters of
a, (3-olef inically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, the
alkyl groups being selected from linear and branched
alkyl groups having more than 3 carbon atoms in the
alkyl radical, with the exception of n-butyl
methacrylate, and
B3 from 0 to 40%, preferably from 5 to 30% and, with
particular preference, from 10 to 25% of other free-
radically polymerizable monomers selected from vinyl
esters of aliphatic saturated carboxylic acids
having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl esters,
nitriles and amides of a,(3-unsaturated carboxylic
acids,
the sum of the mass fractions of components B1 to B3
necessarily being 100%, and the ratio of the mass of the
monomer mixture A to the mass of the monomer mixture B is
from 50:50 to 95:5, preferably from 60:40 to 90:10.
The copolymers AB obtainable in this way preferably
contain, based on the mass of the solids of the
CA 02286855 1999-10-18
- 6 -
dispersion, from 0.2 to 1.7 mol/kg of carbonyl groups and
from 0.15 to 1.6 mol/kg of carboxyl groups. The molar
amount of the carboxyl groups here is always lower than
the molar amount of the carbonyl groups; preferably, the
ratio of the,molar amount of the carboxyl groups n(-COOH)
to the molar amount of the carbonyl groups n(>CO) is from
0.5 to 0.95 mol/mol, with particular preference from 0.75
to 0.9 mol/mol.
The resulting dispersions of the copolymers AB are
neutralized following the polymerization by adding
ammonia, amines or aqueous alkalis, the amount in which
the neutralizing agents are added being such that it is
sufficient to neutralize from 0 to 120% of the carboxyl
groups present.
To the dispersion neutralized in this way there are
subsequently added compounds C having at least two
hydrazine or hydrazide groups per molecule, in an amount
such that the ratio r of the sum of the molar amount of
hydrazine groups n(-NH-NH2) and the molar amount of
hydrazide groups n(-CO-NH-NH2) to the molar amount of the
carbonyl groups n(>CO) is from 0.5 to 1.1 mol/mol,
preferably between 0.8 and 1.0 mol/mol.
The invention additionally provides a process for
preparing the copolymer dispersions of the invention, in
which water with or without emulsifiers is introduced as
initial charge and heated to the desired reaction
temperature, a mixture comprising water, emulsifiers if
desired, the monomer mixture A, and a free-radical
polymerization initiator is metered in to this initial
charge, the polymerization is continued until at least
95% of the monomers have reacted, then a second mixture
comprising water, emulsifiers if desired, and also the
monomer mixture B and a further free-radically acting
CA 02286855 2006-11-09

polymerization is subsequently continued until the residual
monomer content has fallen below 1%. The resulting
dispersion is cooled and admixed, with stirring, with the
neutralizing agent, preferably in the form of an aqueous
solution. Subsequently, the hydrazine compound or hydrazide
compound C is added with stirring to the neutralized
dispersion of the copolymer AB to form the self-crosslinking
dispersion ABC.
Finally, the invention also provides for the use
of these dispersions as binders for storage-stable one-
component coating materials which crosslink at room
temperature or at elevated temperature.
The amines or alkalis used if desired for
neutralization improve the stability of the aqueous
copolymer dispersions.
In one aspect, the invention provides an aqueous
self-crosslinking copolymer dispersion ABC having a core-
shell structure, obtained by: in a first stage, conducting
a free-radically initiated copolymerization of a monomer

carbonyl groups n(>CO) is from 0.5 mol/mol to 1.1 mol/mol.
Olefinically unsaturated monomers containing
carbonyl groups are employed as monomer component Al.
Preference is given to the use of linear, branched and
cyclic aliphatic compounds having 4 to 20 carbon atoms and
each containing at least one carbonyl group and one
ethylenic double bond. To a minor extent (up to 10% of the
mass of the monomers Al) it is also possible to employ
compounds having two or more polymerizable double bonds,
which leads to crosslinking of the copolymer. Particular
preference is given to the use of a,p-olefinically
unsaturated monomers such as N-diacetone(meth)acrylamide and
(meth)acrylic acid acetoacetoxyalkyl esters whose alkylene
group is selected from 1,2-ethylene, 1,2- and 1,3-propylene,
CA 02286855 2006-11-09
30913-4
- 7e -
1,4-butylene and 1,6-hexylene and also 1,5-(3-oxa)pentylene
and 1,8-(3,6-dioxa)octylene groups, especially the ethyl
esters.
CA 02286855 1999-10-18
- 8 -
The monomers A2 are preferably a,(3-unsaturated carboxylic
acids having 3 to 4 carbon atoms, such as acrylic acid,
methacrylic acid, crotonic and isocrotonic acid and also
vinylacetic acid. Monoesters of a,5-unsaturated
carboxylic aGids with linear, branched or cyclic alcohols
having 1 to 15 carbon atoms can also be employed, the
dicarboxylic acids preferably having 4 to 6 carbon atoms.
Preference is given to monomethyl and monoethyl esters of
maleic acid, fumaric acid, and also citraconic,
mesaconic, itaconic and glutaconic acid.
Of the monomers A3, preference is given to the estere of
methanol, ethanol, n- and isopropanol with acrylic and
methacrylic acid and to the diesters of said alcohols
with the dicarboxylic acids specified under A2, and also
to n-butyl methacrylate and, of the vinylaromatic
compounds, especially styrene, p-methylstyrene and the
isomer mixture known as "vinyltoluene". Particular
preference is given to methyl and ethyl (meth)acrylate,
n-butyl methacrylate, styrene, and dimethyl maleate.
As monomers A4 it is preferred to employ the esters of
n-, sec- and tert-butanol, the isomeric pentanols and the
higher alcohols such as n-hexanol and 2-ethylhexyl
alcohol with a,(3-unsaturated carboxylic acids selected
from acrylic and methacrylic acid, vinylacetic acid,
maleic acid and fumaric acid; in the case of the
dicarboxylic acids referred to, the diesters are used,
and n-butyl methacrylate is excluded.
As examples of the hydroxyalkyl esters of olefinically
unsaturated carboxylic acids as monomer component A5
mention may be made of hydroxyethyl and 2-hydroxypropyl
(meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylonitrile, (meth)acrylamide
and, for the vinyl esters, of vinyl acetate.

In the second stage a polymer having a different chemical
structure is produced by adding the monomer mixture B
alone or together with new initiators.
The monomers,B1 correspond to those specified under A3,
the monomers B2 to those specified under A4, and the
monomers B3, finally, to those specified under A5. The
monomer mixture B is therefore free from compounds having
functional groups selected from carbonyl and carboxyl
groups.
The compounds C with hydrazine or hydrazide functionality
comprise two or more hydrazine or hydrazide groups and
preferably have an average molar mass (MI,) of less than
1000 g/mol. Examples of such compounds are bishydrazides
of dicarboxylic acids having 2 to 12 carbon atoms such as
the bishydrazides of oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic
acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pinalic acid, suberic
acid, azelic acid, sebacic acid or the isomeric phthalic
acids; carbonic bishydrazide, alkylene- or cycloalkylene-
bissemicarbazides, N,N'-diaminoguanidine, alkylene-
bishydrazines such as N,N'-diaminopiperazine,
arylenebishydrazines such as phenylene- or
naphthylenebishydrazine, and alkylenebissemicarbazides.
Compounds C of higher functionality are, for example, the
hydrazides of nitrilotriacetic acid or of ethyl-
enediaminetetracetic acid.
The copolymer dispersions of the invention have excellent
stability on storage and produce films having good
resistance properties. They can be employed as binders
for industrial coatings and primers. In addition, they
can be used to formulate transparent coating materials
which can be used in turn to coat wood, plastic, leather
or paper.
CA 02286855 1999-10-18
- 10 -
The crosslinking of the copolymer dispersions takes place
by reaction of the hydrazine or hydrazide groups of the
compounds C with the carbonyl groups of the copolymer
dispersions AB at temperatures as low as room temperature
following the'evaporation of a substantial proportion of
water.
The formulation of water-dilutable coating materials
using the binders prepared in accordance with the
invention, and the application of such coating materials,
are known to the skilled worker.
The examples which follow illustrate the invention
without restricting it in its scope. In the examples
below, as in the text which precedes them, all figures
with the unit "%" are mass fractions unless specified
otherwise. "Parts" are always parts by mass.
Concentration figures in "%" are mass fractions of the
dissolved substance in the solution (in g/100 g)).
Examples
Example 1
In a reactor suitable for emulsion copolymerization with
reflux condenser, thermometer and two feed vessels a
mixture of 360 parts of demineralized water, 24 parts of
Triton X 200 (sodium alkylaryl polyether sulfonate,
manufacturer: Rohm & Haas, USA) and 5.4 parts of Triton
X 165 (octylphenol ethoxylate, manufacturer: Rohm & Haas,
USA) was homogenized with stirring.
The feed vessel A was charged with a homogeneous emulsion
consisting of 1150 parts of demineralized water, 24 parts
of Triton X 200, 10 parts of Triton X 165, 3.2 parts of
ammonium peroxodisulfate, 165 parts of n-butyl

methacrylate, 280 parts of n-butyl acrylate, 275 parts of
styrene, 140 parts of acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate and
40 parts of methacrylic acid. 5% of this initial emulsion
was run into the reactor. The contents of the reactor
were heated to 85 C with stirring and held at this
temperature for 10 minutes. Then the remaining contents
of the feed vessel A were metered into the reactor at a
uniform rate over 120 minutes at 85 C.
Subsequently, a homogeneous emulsion of 100 parts of
demineralized water, 3.1 parts of Triton X 200, 2.4 parts
of Triton X 165, 30 parts of butyl acrylate, 70 parts of
styrene and 0.8 part of ammonium peroxodisulfate were
metered in over 30 minutes at 85 C from the feed vessel
B. Following the end of the addition, the contents of the
reactor were heated to 88 C and held at this temperature
for 120 minutes. Finally, the reaction mixture was cooled
to 25 C and adjusted to a pH of 5.5 by adding 10% aqueous
ammonia solution. Thereafter, 51.2 parts of adipic
dihydrazide were added over the course of 30 minutes.
This gave an opalescent dispersion having a mass fraction
of solids of 38.8% and an average particle size of
105 nm. The pH was 5.5.

Performance testing in transparent coating materials
The transparent coating materials 1 to 5 and V1 were
prepared by mixing an amount of the hydrazide-containing
copolymer dispersion such that the mass of solids present
therein was 100 g, 0.8 g of a commercially customary
defoamer, 0.2 g of a commercially customary leveling
agent, and deionized water sufficient to give an efflux
time of 25 seconds at 23 C in accordance with DIN 53 211.
The results of the performance tests are summarized in

Tack-free time: Drying recorder, glass strips,
application of a coating film with a wet-film thickness
of 150 ~un, at 20 C (statement of time in minutes until a
tack-free surface is obtained)
1
Sandability: Veneered wood, application of a coating film
with a wet-film thickness of 150 pn; the parameter tested
was the clogging of abrasive paper (320 grade) after
strokes following a drying time of 60 minutes at room
10 temperature.
The clogging of the abrasive paper is a practical test
for the user (parquet layer, furniture maker). It refers
to the attachment of freshly applied.coating films to the
abrasive paper in the case of sanding prior to the
application of a further coating film.
The optimum value is 0 (no clogging) although the value
MIN (attachments to less than 10% of the area of the
abrasive paper) is also accepted.
KONIG loendulum hardness (DIN 53157): Glass plates,
application of a coating film with a wet-film thickness
of 120 ~un, drying time of 24 hours at 20 C.
Resistance to acetone, ethanol and water: Glass plates,
application of a coating film with a wet-film thickness
of 120 }zm, drying time of 24 hours at 20 C; a cotton pad
soaked with the solvent was placed on the coating film
and covered with a glass beaker. The time taken for the
film to soften was measured.
Pot life: The two-component coating material is stirred
at hourly intervals. This operation is repeated until the
onset of gelling.
Yellowing: 200 Um wet-film thickness on maple (veneered).
The assessment is made during storage at room temperature

for 4 weeks (1 = no discernible discoloration 5= very
severe discoloration).
